Will Ash catch all 17 types?

[UnovaMaster]

Think about it. All 8 of Ash's current Pokemon are of a different type. And while some of you may complain about less focus on other pokemon, it can still work if some of the new types are caught in secondary stages of evolution or evolve really quickly. And not every pokemon needs too much personality or focus in the first place. Plus, it'll give Ash tons of diversity and reserves for the Unova league. Ash has caught....

First 2 Gyms:

Pikachu-Electric type

Tepig- Fire type

Oshawott- Water type

Snivy- Grass type

Pidove- Flying type

From 2nd to 3rd Gym:

Scraggy- Fighting type

Sewaddle- Bug type

From 3rd Gym to 4th Gym:

Palpitoad- Ground type

Roggenrola- Rock type

And then so on if he catches 2 pokemon each time between each gym he'll have the rest of the 8 types. I think this would do wonders for him at the league. Maybe his pokemon won't be trained as much as in Sinnoh, but if he has type diversity he can deal with his opponents well enough to make top 4 again or higher.

What the hell is up with this fandom's obsession with Ash catching all 17 types of Pokemon?

This guy's probably expecting Ash to be a competitive battler but Ash will never be good without a major intelligence upgrade.

Ash has never caught a ghost pokemon in all of his journey.

He should though, seriously.

 

[Venomfang]

We already have a thread for this.

He had a Haunter for a little while in season 1, but left it with Sabrina. Also, you would think that after all these adventures, Ash would have at least one pokemon of every type. I think he should

 

[Hollow Marowak]

I really don't think Ash will be catching all 17 types this time around, if anything he'll catch the types he hasn't had before, already happening with Scraggy's dark typing and Roggenrola's Rock type. Also, not every type will be captured, but perhaps represented, seeing as far as Poison types, the only options are Trubbish, Venipede, and Foongus, all of which I think are highly unlikely, but perhaps Ash's Palpitoad could learn a Poison type move instead, representing the type. Another example is Roggenrola learning Flash Cannon, thereby representing the steel type without giving Ash one.

It annoys me a bit more than I would like.

Ash is going to catch 18 types. That's just how BA he is

But if we're being serious: Yeah, he probably will. He already has a handful, and I'm noticing a trend with the type of Pokemon that he's been given. I'm sure that the writers are going to dump a bunch of Pokemon on him solely so that they can claim that he's captured one of each type. So yeah, by the time the Black & White saga is over, Ash will have tons of Pokemon and I'm 90% sure that they'll all be Pokemon of different types. It'll be a menagerie, which is what most of you wanted.

Ash never captured Haunter.

 

[Flygon Master54]

No I don't think ash would catch all types but a psychic(Solosis), ghost(Golett) and steel(Pawniard) type would do though.

 

[1rkhachatryan]

I wanted Ash to capture that cute little Venipede that he befriended back in Hiun city. That would take care of the poison type.

 

[Cuddy]

Do not think he will capture all 17 types. It is hard enough to rotate with 8 Pokemon. What happen if he has to rotate up to 10 to 15 Pokemon.

It'll become harder and Ash will only go till the Top 16.

You do know that would mean Ash would have all types right? Counting the reserves in Kanto..

But anyway, totally unimaginable, this was my secret hope for the start of the series:

Electric type - Pikachu
Fire/Fighting type - Tepig -> Emboar
Normal/Grass - Deerling -> Sawsbuck
Psychic/Flying - Woobat -> Swoobat
Rock/Water - Tirtouga -> Carracosta
Poison/Bug - Venipede -> Scolipede
Ground/Ghost - Golett -> Golurk
Dark/Steel - Pawniard -> Bisharp
Dragon/Ice - Kyurem <- For plotpurposes only, as in dealing with N and Zekrom/Reshiram

Ash would have seven and a half capture (Kyurem) and nine evolutions.. That's 16.5 team changes, now look at my prediction for Ash this time:

Pikachu
Unfezant
Samurott
Pignite
Snivy
Scrafty
Leavanny
Seismitoad
Gigalith
Archeops (counts as half an evolution as it probably evolves under Ash's uncaptured care..)
???

That's 20.5 team changes, with the possibility of even more captures.. But still not every type as my team had.

I wanted Ash to capture that cute little Venipede that he befriended back in Hiun city. That would take care of the poison type.

Yup, it would've.. That probably was a coin toss decision by the writers if you look back at the episode. It had everything for a possible capture.. Just look at how Gligar was caught in Sinnoh, it was the same situation..

Do not think he will capture all 17 types. It is hard enough to rotate with 8 Pokemon. What happen if he has to rotate up to 10 to 15 Pokemon.

Honestly? If that happens then I'm hoping for six on six gym battles () Otherwise we'll have about eight pokemon left to battle in gyms.. Seeing as how the starters will feature in quite a few of those, some will never get a gym battle at all..

A Episode that has
.Rotate Battles
but you can use more than 6 pokemon in the anime when you do it

I think with Mamepato evolving and all maybe the writers thought it would be too much or something lol. Although he could have captured it during the rocket plasma specials since one of the reasons Ash got involved with the whole thing was because of the little venipede.
